Tissues or Hankies??

Strange question but BF and I both suffer TERRIBLE hay fever so we are sneezing and sniffling constantly. Hence the debate. He has always used tissues, I have always used hankies. Coming into Cane cutting season they start to burn off all the cane rubbish and the smoke drives us both crazy. BF practically sends us broke with the amount of tissues (well actually I gave up on tissues so toilet paper) he uses to blow his nose.

I have finally got him onto using hankies. Not only are we saving money but it means we don't get dry sore noses like you do when constantly rubbing with paper.

I voted tissues straight in the bin after no snotty hankies hanging around

Tissues for me, hankies for DH although neither of us suffer with allergy or colds etc
I hate washing hankies but i see your point with the money & non sore nose

Most definitely tissues when I need to use them at all.

Unfortunately I know a lot of people (mostly elderly) who use hankies and then don't practice good hand hygiene after using them. There's nothing more unattractive than seeing someone blow their snotty nose on a hankie, stuff it in their pocket and then want to touch you or something else that you are likely to come in contact with - without washing their hands! And the habit of stuffing it in the bra strap makes me want to vomit.

Don't get me wrong, the people who practice poor hand hygiene with hankies would do it with tissues regardless but at least they are going straight in the bin. Not many people I know who do use hankies walk around with a washbag to put them in afterwards.

I have an empty pocket in my bag I tuck them. But I don't use normal hankies anyway. I'm not into those stupid thin cotton ones. I make my own big thick ones out of rags so they don't just get wet and leak!

Tissues more hygenic and practical used to use hankies years ago but haven't done so for a long time..I carry a small bottle of anti- bacterial cleaner with me I'm not paranoid but I work in a supermarket and catch public transport in a dodgy suburb.

I have severe allergies all the time....I ticked the tissue box as I couldn't imagine washing the ridiculous amount of hankies I would need!

I opted for the 'tissue box' too

I use tissues.. But I hate it when the blooming things are left in pockets. when you do a wash load.
